Full Description

Build, convert, test, and maintain marine fire-fighting vessels for effective operation with the 2013 NFPA 1925.

NFPA 1925: Standard on Marine Fire-Fighting Vessels details requirements for the construction of new marine fire-fighting vessels and the conversion of existing vessels for fire-fighting purposes. It also details the minimum testing and maintenance requirements for marine fire-fighting vessels.

The Standard defines five classes of fire-fighting vessels and specifies:Design considerationsClassificationsFire-fighting system capabilitiesFoam systemsOwner responsibilitiesFire protection equipment for the vesselFire-fighting and emergency equipment for the vesselSubdivision and stability criteriaMain propulsion and auxiliary systemsAuxiliary machinery and systemsElectrical systemsOutfittingCommunications and equipmentNavigation systems and equipmentProtective coatings and corrosion protectionTests and trialsVessel maintenanceChanges in the 2013 NFPA 1925 include new definitions.

Updates include new definitions for Category A, Machinery Space of Category A, and Net Positive Suction Head (NPSH) (hsw), plus a revised definition for Fire-Fighting Vessel. NFPA 1925 also reflects vessel classifications and capabilities consistent with the NIMS DHS, focused on upgraded pumping capacity and identified fire-fighting equipment. It's an essential resource for AHJs, local fire authorities, purchasers, and manufacturers of fire-fighting vessels. NFPA 1925 is not a detailed manufacturing purchase specification, but rather a reference for the minimum requirements that should be included within a purchase specification.
